Why not just program the robot to read the lines with certain intonations? Get human actors to read the lines, then analyse the readings to find the optimum delivery style, and program that style into the robot, and get to deliver the lines in response to the right cues. Why does it need to be artificially intelligent? It's not like the robot is going to be dealing with unexpected situations - a movie scene is literally scripted in advance.
It sounds like the goal is to make any movie as long as it is centered around the AI android. Like how Physicists got funding to research black holes from Interstellar.
Erica was originally set to debut in a different project that was to have been directed by Tony Kaye (American History X), but producers parted with Kaye over scheduling. The director of b and the human co-star for Erica are not yet attached, but producers filmed some of her scenes in Japan in 2019.

Curious why they haven't given her a less obviously-artificial voice synthesizer. Like the one Adobe has that can simulate specific people with just 40min of sample audio.

Japanese Robots are more of a brand than real, technological innovation. I think what the big data firms in the US have cooked up over the past couple of years outdoes anything that came out of Japan over the past 30. Adding mechanical eye lids isn't the real challenge (even though it seems oddly hard?). It's about not falling apart the moment the robot faces a challenge the creators haven't anticipated. Judging from the canned responses, that doesn't seem what "Erica" is all about, she sounds like the product of eagerly trying to anticipate every possible outcome and I don't buy it.

Unless they have made dramatic advances (no pun intended) I think human actors jobs are probably safe, for now.
